Before Chevy started calling its line of full-size pickups “Chevrolet Silverado” in the late ‘90s, the Bow Tie brand used the “C/K” designation, with the Silverado name attached to an available trim level. The Chevrolet K10 featured here is one extremely clean example of that older era. Hailing from 1987 and outfitted with a few custom modifications, this square body is now up for sale in Nashville, Tennessee.
No doubt about it, the most striking thing about this particular Chevrolet K10 Silverado is the way it looks. The straight, blocky body panels are covered in deep black paint, which look polished and buffed to a mirror-like finish. Complementing the dark exterior is an assortment of polished chrome for the bumpers, side trim, sideview mirrors, bed rails, and fender trim.
Per tradition, the Chevrolet K10 gets a sizable ride height lift courtesy of a Rough Country suspension kit, while the stock rollers were swapped out for eyeball-grabbing 22-inch Gear wheels, once again with a chrome finish. Wrapping the 22’s is a set of Toyo M/T off-road tires sized at 35×12.5.
Moving over to the cabin, the interior looks pretty cherry, with red upholstery covering the bench seating, complemented by further red touches to the doors, dash and headliner. Factory A/C keeps things comfortable while an AM/FM/Cassette stereo deck keep the tunes flowing.
Mounted behind that rectangular front grille is a Chevy 350 Small-Block V8, which mates to a 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. An “original-style” exhaust (complete with a catalytic convertor) expels spent gasses and V8 fun-noises to boot. Front disc brakes and rear drums haul it all down.
All told, this Chevrolet K10 has a clean, custom style that can’t be matched by its modern equivalents. It’s got just a hint of the old school to add to the flavor, and even though it’s not all-original, it stays within the bounds of good taste all the same.
Mileage is tagged at a surprisingly low 17,803, while the asking price is set at $39,995.

They went ‘futuristic” in 88’ but this was the best pickup interior of the 80’s IMHO
I’ve been eye balling this truck for a while, and would love to buy it. I just can’t justify the Price when I could just buy a new one. But what a beautiful truck
I had the GMC 3/4 version of this ’87 truck with a “J” 6.2l diesel(No pollution stuff & 5 more HP) 4 spd manual and an ATS turbo on it. Truck was fantastic!
I like it, minus the big DUBS they slapped on there. Knock them down to an 18″ wheel and it is perfect, IMHO.
Sharp truck!
Nice truck but waaaaay too much money to buy. Should be a $10,000 asking price.
Yeah that is way too much. Plus it has a Fugly red interior. I would look for something with a lower price like a 19 Silverado.
Love the truck, tires and wheels got to go !!! 18’s and 35 12.50 , 10 ply all terrain better fit and look. Then 15k at the most. It’s not a work truck.
Nice truck but needs the rally wheels back on it then maybe it will bring $10,000 if you’re lucky. But $40,000 never in this lifetime.
Had a black’76 w/350 and 4spd. 2wd step-side with heavy duty suspensiion. Was a beast. Was a special package with the factory C-stripes. When trucks were trucks.
Yeah I had a 87 but someone swapped the 700r4 for a th350 which was a bad decision. But I love the square body . It also is factory equipped with the tbi fuel injection system. All and all my truck was a hog , it would go wheelin wherever you wanted to go . Also had 33″ Mickey Thompson bajan claws , bias ply, let me tell you those tires were way too loud
im 8 years old and when im 18 im going have this
Where is this truck located? I want to show this to my future husband but not if its to far away.
